Yuki stepped up onto a wooden pallet set outside the door. A small sign hung by a rusty wire, it read; Wipe your feet! She looked down to see that she was standing on a worn rubber mat; the word WELCOME was almost completely faded from what was probably years of people following the signs... Continue Reading →
Happy Birthday Moira! The trip across open water went smoothly; the wind remained light, so the sea stayed calm. Yuki found an empty space near the front of the boat and sat down, enjoying the cool temperatures and steady wind blowing across her face. She was exhausted; it felt like she’d been on earth for...

She glanced... Continue Reading →
I just completed a new version of Tau (previous version was the Iron Giant) and a new character; Curly. I printed both on a Dremel 3D40 and have spent many months perfecting their design. Curly will appear in a future chapter where I will introduce another Keeper, Florencia. I would like to give credit to... Continue Reading →
